    Why couldn't the Star keep Daniel Girard instead?

    Kelly's a columnist. He's a good writer. He's a shit columnist, a shit reporter and utterly unconcerned with how close to the mark he is. But he's a good writer.

    Don't disagree jloome but I think Kelly is spot on.


    It has no star. No key moment. No identity to speak of. The current iteration of Toronto FC has no rationale. It just is. It’s only consistent characteristic is an ability to confound your expectations while consistently disappointing.




    A single player, no matter how good, can’t make this terrible team competitive. He won’t be young. If he were young and a star, he wouldn’t come. So whoever ‘he’ is, he isn’t a long-term solution.


    He just writes shit we all know but nobody wants to read/hear.
